Plan how you will get to the clinic, and who will pick you up, keeping in mind our clinics are typically discreetly located.

As a courtesy to others, we ask that you please provide us with at least 24 hours’ notice of any changes or cancellations, and please let us know on the day if you are running late.

Please note: for compassionate reasons young children and babies are not permitted at Dr Marie clinics, as some patients may find this distressing. We do apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Can someone stay with me at the clinic ?

You are welcome to have your companion wait for you at the clinic. However, some clinics have small waiting areas, so it may be more appropriate if they come to collect you when you are ready to go home.

In consideration of other patients, we don’t allow visitors in the procedure and recovery rooms.

What kind of support is available before and after my procedure?

Whilst every woman will feel differently, for some women terminating a pregnancy is a complex decision that causes a lot of anxiety.

To assist, Dr Marie offers a free counselling service for all patients. You can book a counselling appointment by calling our national support centre before or after your procedure.

You can also talk to the doctor at your appointment about any concerns you might have, or call our 24-hour aftercare service at any time.
